locodave Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Hi people, recently bought an hours gauge to replace my old one. My old gauge has 44 hours on it but can't be seen as the plastic is damaged. My new gauge has 0000 hours, so I'm wondering what is the best way to get it to clock 44 hours? Should I just attach my new gauge to a 12v battery and let it run? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flightmanager Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Bad idea . Do not leave the ignition on with the engine not running , it will damage the ECM , and other expensive bits. Just hook the guage up to the battery for the required time. Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locodave Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 OK, so if I hook it up to a car battery it should be fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a boat Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 OK, so if I hook it up to a car battery it should be fine? Yes, that is the best way. Hook it up to 12V and leave on for 44 hours. Cheers, Huey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
